Compute

Connectivity

• Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz b/g/n (via ESP32-C3 and ESP-Hosted)
• Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0 (via ESP32-C3)
• USB 2.0 OTG on USB-C
• 40-pin extension header

Audio

• SPDIF digital output (driven by the sun4i-spdif Linux driver)
• No on-board DAC — pair with an external SPDIF DAC

Power & I/O

• 5 V power input over USB-C
• Internal rails: 3.3 V, 2.5 V, 1.1 V (validated on bring-up)
• 1 user-controllable LED
• 3 buttons:
  • reset for the f1c200s
  • reset for the ESP32-C3
  • boot-select to put the f1c200s into USB FEL (bootstrap) mode

Identification

In the boot logs the board reports:

Model: La Manufacture du Son - Network Streamer
CPU:   Allwinner F Series (SUNIV)

The Linux device tree machine string is MDS Network Streamer v1.0.

SoC notes

The f1c200s is part of the Allwinner suniv family (sun3iw1). Some peripherals — notably I²S DMA — are not mainline yet. The board currently uses SPDIF only for audio.
